strative In its manifestations of appreciation.
Few changes have occurred in the cast of
Kerry Cow" since its last presentation here.
MISS virginia Marlowe, we believe. had not
previously appeared before ST Joseph au-
ulence. Her conception of the character of
Nora Is almost perfeet-nothing exaggerated
or overdone. but the affectionate and dutiful
daughter and the faithful and trusting sweet
neart just as they exist IN real life. Miss Ada
ohattuck also made vsry favorable impress
sion as Alice Doyle. Of S Murphy him
sell there is nothing new to be said. In his
peculiar line of light Irish drama he has
claimed field by right of discovery, and
still holds undisputed possession.
"SI PERKINS"
This ever popular play will be one of the
best things in the amusement line that will
visit Augusta this season. The press gen.
orally speaks of it in the highest terms, and
the crowd which greets it at Granite Hall, on

play:

Montague, have struck q rich thing in ISL

success, and the Musical Moke" will make
both his mark and fortune out of the char
acter The piece will hold the boards at this
afternoons matinee and tonight.
